It’s about understanding their quirks, celebrating small progress, and making the journey rewarding for both of you. My own dog Bruce taught me that every pup’s pace is different, and that’s the heart of my approach. ### How I Train - Purely positive reinforcement dog training - no shouting, no punishment. I want your dog to feel happy, not scared. - Sessions feel more like a treat than a chore. Think of it like getting that homemade gajar ka halwa - it’s all about positive vibes. - Focus is on helping your dog become a confident, calm family member. ### Group Classes - We train outdoors, with two certified trainers handling each session. - Dogs practice listening to you, even with distractions and other dogs around. - Group dog training classes help pups stay calm, confident, and socialise the right way - no forced play. - Nervous or reactive dogs are welcome, but biting history is a no-go for safety reasons. ### Core Skills We Build - Loose leash walking techniques, practiced step-by-step from home to busy streets. - “Come when called” recall, even for the most distracted pups. - Proofing essential commands (sit, down, stay, place) in real life situations. ### For Anxious or Reactive Dogs - If your dog lunges or barks, I get it. We work together to build their confidence and manage triggers, step at a time. Patience, fun, and real progress - that’s what I aim for on this journey with you and your dog. ## Highlights Browse through Gourav Vartalur's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/saga.thedogtrainingacademy/dog-obedience-training/featured) - [Video: A common question I get is, "My dog listens at home, but not outside."

All this started with Bruce, my own doggo - the real boss of the house. He’s why I get up every day and do this. We’ve been through it all, from Delhi to Bangalore by train (chips to mile nahi, but mom’s gajar ka halwa always wins). With Bruce, I learned every dog’s different, no matter the age. SAGA is just me trying to help others find that same bond I have with him, using only positive vibes. ### My work - **All Dog Training Services**: Puppy training, group classes, fun agility sessions, swimming, leash walking, toilet training, and reactive dog confidence building. - **Only Positive Reinforcement**: No scolding, no 'bad dog' talk. We build trust and make training a team effort with you and your dog. - **Step-by-Step Approach**: Start inside, move outside slowly. We set up your dog for success, not stress. - **Dog Socialization Training**: It’s not about meeting every dog. We teach calmness and neutrality around others. - **Mental Stimulation Activities**: Training isn’t just basics. We use puzzles, agility, and walks to boost confidence and keep minds sharp. ## More services from Gourav Vartalur - [Fun Agility Training](https://mytribe.in/saga.thedogtrainingacademy/fun-agility-training) · ₹1,600-2,400 per session (estimate) - [Canine Swimming & Fitness](https://mytribe.in/saga.thedogtrainingacademy/canine-swimming-fitness) · ₹550-1,250 per session (estimate) - [Reactive Dog Training](https://mytribe.in/saga.thedogtrainingacademy/reactive-dog-training) · ₹7.5-16K per course (estimate) ## Experts similar to Gourav Vartalur on mytribe - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training by Hoo-Dog](https://mytribe.in/hoodog20/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹10-24K per program (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Adult Dog Obedience Training by Zoella Dog Training](https://mytribe.in/zoella_dogtraining/adult-dog-obedience-training) · ₹12.5-28K per package (estimate) · Zoella Dog Training Centre - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation by Furry Story](https://mytribe.in/furrystoryofficial/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training by K9 Gurukul](https://mytribe.in/k9_gurukul/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹18-24K per course (estimate) · K9 Gurukul - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training by Ranjith R1](https://mytribe.in/ranjith_r1_dog_trining_school/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹15-40K per course (estimate) · Karnataka - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training by Jk](https://mytribe.in/dog_trainer_jk/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹6.5-15K per course (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Gourav Vartalur, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Dog%20Obedience%20Training%20by%20Gourav%20Vartalur.)
